Welcome from Welly - interested in your perspectives on the BMW vs the other brands you've spent time with - and be honest despite the audience

Looks very tidy given the 230kms and and at damned good reserve price of $5k! Got nice big 20's on it too ... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1087767174.htm At this age and kms you can still happily chuck a Vero/Autosure MBI on it too... via MTF Mt Vic. Cheap, big and grunty - but do remember the 17l/100km for urban

Check the attached rates sheet. Your 98 will be too old - max age is 16 years. 2001+ will be OK. I put 4 years on my 2001 210kms E53 v8. MBI Gold rates sheet.pdf

And importantly - what does 'T 90' signify?

Welcome Craig - V8 E60s are a nice beasty Yes the colour is nice - I'm one of the unwashed masses with a silver BMW sedan...

Nice indeed - score on the BBS + Pirellis!

Welcome Adam - better load some pics of your E91! I'm no exhaust expert so won't proffer an opinion

Welcome from Welly - I like the 325i too

$6k for this 2001 735i with 245kms with beige interior in pretty good nick. Quite rare to see these in black - I think it looks good - especially with the right wheels on it

Here's a sliver 530i MSport on online auction @Turners - might go cheap and looks tidy...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1086628222 -100kms, $26k

Must be

Another way of covering risk is to slap a Vero/Autosure MBI on it. You can do this for standard euros max 250K kms and 16yrs age. I did this with my privately purchased 2001 X5. Jonno @MTF Mt Vic.

I'll take it Dimitrios - can you PM account details and courier cost? Cheers, Pete

They've been updated on Turners and the cheapest unit is $35k ...

It is a nice looking unit

+1 on that Dave. Will probably get parted out :\

Howdy from Welly!

Welcome from Welly!

Looks very tidy and spec and colour are nice.

Have to love the cemetery as the backdrop to the pictures

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1081441559 "Im lead to believe that this was the last e28 to be sold new in NZ and was bought by the then BMW Club President. She has obviously been well taken care of over the years as the overall condition is pretty good. There are a few small dents but the car is rust and accident free. I bought it in April 2015 with a blown head gasket. The head was crack tested and rebuilt as well as the bottom end inspected. Internally the motor is perfect and it does not use/drip/burn any oil. The transmission shifts perfectly. I have replaced boot and door seals, new brake pads, filters, wheel bearings and the previous owner replaced the radiator and radiator hoses. I removed the interior and had everything cleaned, other than the rip in the drivers seat it has come up really nice. This model has the factory LSD and bilstein suspension and the car drives very smooth. I have done a couple of longer trips over the summer and its has been an awesome cruising car with surprisingly good fuel economy."

Fairly rare example - with larger engine AND a manual. Would be fun! http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1080275520

Looks very sharp in black with the 68s!

Did you guys have a listen to the exhaust video? Kinda sounds scarily like a muffler delete to me - which from first hand (and embarrassing) experience is not cool.
